Whether you’re new to exercise or an experienced mover, this beginner-friendly, no-equipment workout will leave you feeling energized, strong, and accomplished.
What is HIIT?
HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) alternates short bursts of higher-effort exercise with periods of lower-intensity movement or rest. This format helps you challenge your body safely, improve endurance, and keep your heart strong — all while spending less time exercising.
In our new routine, we’ll guide you through:
2 sets of 5 exercises, each done twice
40 seconds of high-intensity intervals followed by 20 seconds of lower-intensity recovery
60-second breaks after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd sets
This structure allows your body to recover between intervals while still keeping your heart rate up for maximum benefit.
The Benefits of HIIT for Seniors
HIIT is one of the best ways for older adults to stay active and independent. Regular HIIT workouts can help:
✅ Improve heart and lung health
✅ Build strength and endurance
✅ Enhance balance and coordination
✅ Support healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels
✅ Boost mood and energy levels
✅ Maintain mobility and independence
Even better — you can go at your own pace, choose standing or seated options, and modify any move to match your comfort level. Every minute of movement makes a difference!
No equipment required! Just wear comfortable shoes, have some water nearby, and keep a sturdy chair handy if you prefer seated exercises or need support for balance.
We designed this HIIT session to be low impact and joint-friendly, making it perfect for older adults, beginners, or anyone returning to exercise. You’ll feel challenged but never overworked — and you might be surprised at how strong and energized you feel afterward!
